Meanwhile... at the other DOE, more winning: "Maximum Security For US": DoE Head Plans $20 Billion Refill Of Depleted SPR After Biden Drain West Texas Intermediate (WTI) prices have fallen to levels where the Trump administration sees a massive opportunity to begin refilling the nation's depleted Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR). The move comes as WTI prices slide on President Trump's 'Drill Baby Drill' energy policies, mounting US growth fears, trade wars, easing tensions in the Middle East, and confirmation that OPEC+ will proceed with an output hike. US Energy Secretary Chris Wright told Bloomberg in an interview that the Energy Department is preparing to purchase $20 billion worth of crude oil as the first step in refilling the nation's depleted SPR to a sufficient level. He said the initiative, which may take years, would restore holdings "just close to the top." The initiative, which may take years, would restore holdings "just close to the top" to maintain efficient operating status, Wright said in an interview on Thursday in Louisiana after touring a natural-gas export plant. Trump said he planned replenish the Strategic Petroleum Reserve during his inaugural address in January, part of a broad embrace of conventional energy that's also included pledges to boost domestic oil production and roll back regulation. The storage facility — the largest of its kind — is meant to provide a cushion to guard against crude supply disruptions. "Ultimately, that's what it was built for — to have the maximum security for the American people," Wright said. -BBG Wright's plan to refill the SPR and fulfill Trump's energy security mandate comes as crude prices fall to the lowest in almost six months as traders wrestle with conflicting signals on the longevity and effects of US tariffs. https://www.zerohedge.com/comm...pr-after-biden-drain "Some things are apparent.

Regarding the Iran nuclear ambitions, President Trump just said that he hopes for an agreement but if one is not forthcoming, "something else" is going to happen. The implication is clear and I imagine that Israel will be the instrument. | |||

Trump Organization sues Capital One for closing bank accounts after January 6 riot https://justthenews.com/govern..._campaign=newsletter The Trump Organization on Friday sued Capital One bank for allegedly closing hundreds of its accounts in the aftermath of the January 6 riot in 2021. The bank allegedly closed more than 300 of the company's accounts in June of 2021, months after the riot, even though they had been customers of the bank for decades, according to NBC News. The lawsuit, which was filed in Florida, alleged that the bank's actions were the result of "political and social motivations." "[Plaintiffs] have reason to believe that Capital One’s unilateral decision came about as a result of political and social motivations and Capital One’s unsubstantiated, ‘woke’ beliefs that it needed to distance itself from President Trump and his conservative political views," the lawsuit said. “In essence, Capital One ‘de-banked’ Plaintiffs’ Accounts because Capital One believed that the political tide at the moment favored doing so,” it added. The Organization is seeking a declaratory judgment that the bank improperly terminated the Trump companies’ accounts, along with punitive and monetary damages for “the devastating impact” the closures had on the company. "The decision by Capital One to ‘debank’ our company, after well over a decade, was a clear attack on free speech and free enterprise that flies in the face of the bedrock principles and freedoms that define our country," Eric Trump, who helps run the Trump Organization, said in a statement. “Moreover, the arbitrary closure of these accounts, without justifiable cause, reflects a broader effort to silence and undermine the success of the Trump Organization and those who dare to express their political views,” he added. Capital One has denied the allegations, stating that it "has not and does not close customer accounts for political reasons.” _________________________ | |||

Closing the DoE By Wendy Kinney On March 3, 2025, Linda McMahon was sworn in as the 13th Secretary of Education. The very next day, March 4, President Trump, in his address to Congress, reaffirmed his commitment to dismantling the Department of Education (DoE) as part of his ongoing efforts to return power to the states. Then, on March 5, 2025, President Trump took decisive action by signing Executive Order 14201, directing Secretary McMahon to begin the process of closing the DoE. This is a bold step that moves us closer to fulfilling a promise made to the American people. The DoE wastes taxpayer money every single day. It’s been a drain on our country since its creation in 1979. It was never about reform -- it was a political payoff to the National Education Association (NEA), bought in exchange for their endorsement and political support. What was sold to the public as a solution has turned into an utter disaster -- an inefficient, bloated bureaucracy that has held back our students. Before the DoE, states managed their schools effectively. But the federal government decided it knew better and replaced local control with its own system, and now, we see stagnating academic achievement, declining test scores, and classrooms hijacked by political agendas. President Trump has called the DoE a “big con job” -- and he’s absolutely right. It’s time to shut it down and put education back in the hands of parents and states, where it belongs. Linda McMahon: A Proven Leader for Education Reform President Trump knew exactly who to put in charge to make this happen. Linda McMahon isn’t just a politician -- she’s a fighter. She built World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) into a global powerhouse from the ground up. She knows how to lead, cut through the red tape, and get results. And as head of the Small Business Administration (SBA) under President Trump, she proved she can reform government programs and help America thrive. Now, as Secretary of Education, she’s going to dismantle the DoE’s overreach. She’s going to ensure that education decisions are made by parents and local communities, not Washington bureaucrats. It’s about time we cut the waste and put parents -- not bureaucrats -- back in charge. A Federal Failure: The DoE’s Track Record of Decline From the very start, the DoE has been a failure. Despite its skyrocketing budgets -- now exceeding $79 billion a year -- student performance hasn’t improved. In fact, it’s gotten worse. U.S. students consistently fall behind international peers in essential areas like math and reading. Federal interference hasn’t helped; it’s only deepened the crisis and made things worse. DEI, Indoctrination, and Federal Overreach Instead of focusing on education, the DoE has pushed divisive ideologies like Critical Race Theory and DEI mandates into classrooms. Students across this country are being taught political agendas instead of the basics they need to succeed. The DoE’s obsession with advancing a radical political agenda has undermined education and created a toxic environment in classrooms. States like Florida and Texas have been forced to push back. It’s time to end the activism and put education first. States as the Solution: Florida’s Success Story Governor Ron DeSantis has shown the world that states can -- and should -- run their own education systems. Florida’s expanded school choice puts parents in charge, and the results are undeniable. In 2023, Florida ranked first in the nation for African-American students’ reading proficiency and second for Hispanic students’ math proficiency. Graduation rates have jumped by 10% over the past decade, hitting a historic high of 90% in 2022 -- well above the national average. By focusing on academic achievement and removing political ideologies from the classroom, Florida has shown that local control works. The DoE’s failure is clear. Local control produces results. It’s time to get rid of the federal interference and let states and parents do what they know is best for their children. How We Close the DoE The Constitution never granted the federal government control over education. Florida has shown us that local control works. To dismantle the DoE, President Trump can: Issue executive orders to strip the DoE of its regulatory power. Redirect funding to states through block grants. Repeal federal mandates on testing, curriculum, and hiring. Cut the DoE’s budget and workforce to limit its influence. While full abolition requires Congress, President Trump can swiftly reduce the DoE’s power and return education to the hands of parents and states. This isn’t an end to education -- it’s a return to common sense. The Left, Teachers' Unions, and Media Manipulation: Why They Want to Keep the DoE For decades, the Left, teachers' unions, and the media have convinced parents that the DoE is essential for our schools. They’ve sold the idea that federal oversight is necessary for quality education. But the truth is the DoE has served the interests of bureaucrats, unions, and politicians -- not students. The media pushes the false narrative that dismantling the DoE would cause chaos in our schools, but Florida’s success proves otherwise. By expanding school choice and focusing on academic excellence, Florida has shown that local control works far better than federal interference. The solution is simple: we need to put parents and states back in charge of education. Reclaiming Our Future President Trump has made it crystal clear: he is committed to dismantling the DoE, and he will follow through. This isn’t just another promise -- it’s a promise kept. With President Trump and Secretary McMahon leading the way, we’ll eliminate the DoE’s harmful influence, restore local control, and put parents in charge of their children’s education. The future of our children depends on it. https://www.americanthinker.co...closing_the_doe.html "Some things are apparent.

@chellim1, Trump hasn’t signed anything regarding eliminating the DoEd and Executive Order 14201 is regarding transgender sports. I think that article was pre-written and someone forgot to check facts before publishing. | |||
